We are going to install a new fork.
First you put the lower slotted ring on the steer tube
Now put the steer tube trough the head tube and install the upper slotted ring and cover plate.
Now install all the spacers you need.
Push the fork up and install the stem. Now mark the upper edge of stem on steer tube.
Use a tool to fix the forks in to the vice and cut the steer tube about 3 mm below the line you draw.
Smooth the sharp edges with the file.
Now you have to install the star nut. I used a small screwdriver and a rubber hammer. Be careful not to damage the legs at the bottom.
Heavily grease lower slotted ring and upper bearing.
Install the fork and the slotted ring.
Put on cover plate, spacers, stem and top cap. Tighten the screw to the point where the fork has no play.
Tighten the bolts of the stem.

Thank you! Very good, no nonsense instructions & narrated at a smooth pace; my kind of video :)
i thought it is rocket science!! thanx for simplifying
9 year didnt matter very straight forward video no nonsense instruction ❤️
I just want to add that you shouldn't overtighten the top cap as the fork will press against the headset a tad too much and can cause increased wear and tear and not feel as smooth as it could
Thanks a lot for the video. Now i will use your video how to install a new bike fork video in my new Giant MTB frame. This is a very good technical info on how to install a new bike fork even for tapered and straight steering tube. I will recommend to use pipe cutter for cutting the steering tube for easy and straight cutting. Thanks a lot and God bless.
thanks so much, there were so many different bearings that made me confused. and after watching this videos ,i will never trust my local store. i live in a small city in China. those mechanics in bike store are not specialized enough and poorly installed my first carbon road bike.
The next time ,i will install them myself !
appreciate
It´s good to include the specifics on which type of fork and which type of steering type you are using.
It's a pretty good video in comparison to others. it gives you a good basis to go on, use google if you need to know any more if you're not able to figure it out yourself. 1) not many bikes use a split design these days 2) that's your personal preference, a lot of people like a plush stem and top cap, nothing above it, looks a lot better and you know it. 3) Does not make it a bad video 4) You're right on that one and 5) For the purpose of the tutorial, it doesn't matter.
easy peasy thanks man. Now all I need is money.
haha😃
Thanks for the video it's a shame that so many people are so negative about your efforts to help them.
The best video on TH-cam how to explain how to do this thank you so much ✋😎✋
That was an excellent tutorial straight to the point, Fantastic job sir!
Love this video you put the camera right up to the forks so i can see what your talking about and what parts go where unlike other channels. I just took my forks off because im getting some forks that are a bit rusty but theyre amazing forks they are like the rock shox boxxer forks same design but different company going to install them to see if they are the right size and if they are gonna remove the rust re grease them and make them like new basically restoring them lol.
Excellent tutorial! I will build up my 301 the next days and installing the fork is the part I was most scared off.
Not anymore. :-)
Thanks for this useful information! One of the best I had seen!
Star Nut design is not the best. Think they could have designed a stronger fork fitting back when they made this a standard.
But the video is well presented and informative and that is all that matters. Well done!
thanks, finally useful and easy to understand video of what i was looking for.
Thank you for this video; it had learned me that I can forget to try change the fork by myself! :)
Glad I discovered this video today. Thanks 😊
And magically the snowflake ❄️ inside the forks appeared 😅😎
I would never use a screwdriver to install a star nut. You run the risk of knocking the threads out of it. I use a socket. Don't worry so much about trying to put it in straight. The star nut will flex and go in if it is a little crooked. I just installed new forks on my bike and did it this way and it worked just fine. I also removed the old star nut from my old forks by knocking the star nut through the bottom and there is no damage to the star nut.
Thomas Winfree I put the top cap bolt through my star nut as a guide, then found a deep socket that would fit over the bolt head, and used the actual socket to push the star nut in, hitting with a rubber mallet.
You know what they say: Measure twice, cut once :)
Thank god for Wal-Mart rofl!
Very very very helpful! thanks for posting this!
If you use care, you can cut the fork to a certain size, and use spacers, that way the imperfections in the cutting won't show :D That's what I did!
Thanks for video - mine fork has slipped a couple of mm, now I can fix.
Good job!
Thank you! Most complete video on this that I have found on youtube, cheers!
Thanks to show it how to do it, it's was and excellent well done job today in my bike
Well spotted wildkathappy !
That fork will wobble. You need to put a little bit of weight on the top tube so the fork is firmly pressed against the frame.
Nice to the point video. Thanks
Thanks
Excellent even for me
5.5 inch? In length yes, but the headtube is measured by its diameter. Usually 1 1/8 inches, 1 1/4 inches or 1.5 inches. If you follow this step by step, take your time, there should be no problem, and to be honest you don't need to measure anything in this process, just marking out ready to cut. What exactly are you asking?
straight forward , the easy way. campy style headset.
Great video
Extremely helpful!!
im glad i ask. thank you so much
Works well but bowl is really shallow.
Looked like the star nut was pretty darn close to the top, should be a bit further down I think no ?
Is it bad if the star nut is close to the top?
Lose the stem and fully tighten the star nut on the top. This should pull the fork up into the head tube.
The crown race should NOT have a split on it !, and needs to be pressed on.., and the fangled nut should be at least one centimeter countersunk .. peace
It is RockShox Lyrik 170mm.
Use spacers instead of stem to tighten top cap
Thank you..

you don't usually do that unless they are old forks, brand new = no need
It went together easily in less than an hour. th-cam.com/users/postUgkxHL1v1R3NE5x4KiYfyt8dnQmyNYz7qi5L Make sure the front fork is forward or the pedals will hit the front tire. Tires are both a little soft so it needs air before I ride it. The rear wheel didn't come with a clamp regular bolts hold it on. The front had the clamp. No scratches out of box. Rims are a little off with a slight wobble. They could have spent more time with the spoke tool fixing the run out. So far out of the box I'm happy with it. I did replace the pedals with a nice aftermarket set. After riding it a bit my A$$ is a bit sore so I ordered another seat. Overall I'm nearly 60 and didn't ride a bike in 30 years. I like my new 29" Schwinn. It will be used for casual rides with my friend.
спасибо БРОтан
All you need is a straight cut. How you do it doesn't matter.
because the bearings and cups of the headset need to be greesed so when you turn ur bars there isnt metal on metal
Tank you
Follow the video. Use proper headtube cups/bearings and it should be fine.
Do have any videos showing the bearings being installed?
now you have a peg :)
lollllll..nice answer mate....
Do you realize that you cut your fork without use of the proper slot in the fork cutter clamp?
fuck the system
I think his saw blade was too thick and wouldn't fit in the slot (i.e. using the wrong blade for the job).
Psssh. I would have used a sawzall. lol

I wish you would show us how to press the internal headset in.
:(
What fork did you fit and what travel did you have? The fork looks good.
To be more specific. Do you install a star nut? Since downhill bike use direct mount stem, there is no way to install a top cap. I was thinking that the upper crown tighten the fork to the headtube.
No video was found to support my claim.
Hi Bikebook. Good video, but... I need an advice. I have old frame, with rock shox pilot sl...can i have some problems with installing some newer fork, suntour xcm V3 or XCM M-LO, XCR for example. I mean, could parts like crown and rest from headset could be useful on mentioned types of forks. Thanks a lot...
Do you know for certain, with folding handlebars, if it matters if the stem on the forks are threaded or not ? Mine is an ebike if that matters...
Looks so easy... but i would fuck up the hole fork! :)... and i wouldn't know why...!
You blew past the "tool to hold the tube in the vise". What tool? What is it called? Where can I get one?
where can I get that cutting sleeve?
performance bicycle store
Yep. The performance one has a tab that fits into a table vice. Nice to have for cutting all sorts of pipes.
I've worked a lot of steel but I haven't tried what I'm about to recommend... a $5.00 pipe-cutter from the hardware store.
Big jubilee clip also works and is probably slightly cheaper and more adjustable.
Thanks again gcn!
Is it dangerous to leave it uncut, and move the spacers above the stem? Especially when using a carbon fork?
Question: why cut 3mm below the line? Wouldn't it result in a situation where the part of the stem that has the upper bolt is not clamping down properly with the steerer tube?
I cut my forks 1mm above the line, then put a 2mm spacer below the top cap. This way my top cap pushes against the spacer, the spacer pushes against the stem, and both upper and lower bolts are making the stem fully clamp down the steerer tube. Am i doing it wrong or are there any negative effects on my stem/steerer tube by doing so?
Because the blade is 3mm or has a 3mm bite
To inspect/show the bearing.
helpful thx
Seeing it is easy. Doing it is impossible.
I just broke my MTB carbon fiber and now I'm looking to buy a light aluminum frame. When I measure the headtube on my bike its 5.5 inch. When I go to ebay to check, there is no such a thing as 5.5 inch. Wheels I know for fact are 26. Any Idea please?
so these new forks use a sealed bearing nowdays?.. damn, I think I might be getting old..
You missed the part where you grease up the stem and screws of the fork??????
Is there an adapter to fit V brakes ? I found a nice fork for a 26 inch to replace a rusted one on a 24. The mounting boss is about an inch off so now the pad rubs the sidewall instead of the rim. Put 26 inch wheels on? Might not fit in rear.
Why do you finger the top and bottom of the head tube in silence at the start (0:08 - 016) of the video?
You didnt include how u punch in the the crown race, which is the hardest part if your doing it your self. Waisted my time.
Didn't you saw it at 0:20? It is the split ring and therefore easy to slide on.
I think he mean ball bearings.
Gökmen Emre Keskin The ball bearing was already pressed in the head tube.
+bikebook I know. Sealed one. But he maybe confused by not seeing balls with grease.
거 참 ... 말도안되는 영어실력으로 유튭링하는 생퀴네 ...
Hello, I got a new shock today and I need to cut the stem but I dont have a vicegrip or that tool, just a hacksaw, is there a substitute?
My forks were stolen, so I have no lower crown race. Do new forks come with one, or will I need to buy it separately?
It usually comes with a new headset and is made to fit with it.You probably can find a replacement for it.
crackin' vid
The tool you used as a guide to saw the tube, what does it call?
To repel the water.
wheres the crown raise?
Could you help me dude I'm upgrading my forks on my carrera hellcat my headset bearings are shot need some assistance on what I need to replace them
that is noit a new fork. it is a threadless fork...
how will i know whats the right measure? i have to ride the bike before
That look like an aluminum steer tube. Will the same cutting technique work on a chromoly fork?
hacksaw wont do. need a high speed power tool with abrassive wheel the kind that looks like brown fiber glass wheel.
v10moped I used a simple metal conduit tubing cutter to cut a chromoly steer tube. Worked like a charm, and you always get a perfectly straight and square cut.
@@Patrick94GSR Thanks for that tip! I just tried it too! As you said, works like a charm! Nice clean even cut on the chromoly.
Motorex Oil of Switzerland... What is it? Vaseline = grease?
This bike don't have bearing??
any suggestions on why their is grease coming out of my headset? both top and bottom. I have a DH bike..
i have rockshox arygle RC and i dont know how to install it on my bike? :/
The bottom race is not the correct part. It should be solid (ie not slotted).
Você soldou a parte da rosca?
Never use starnuts. Use headset doctor instead.
MrJloa lol wut, I think thousands of bike mechanics would disagree with you.
Where I can get those spacers? They fit in a bmx fork?
No bearings ?
is better a tapered or a 1.5 straight fork?
Awosam
what is that spacer called you are lubing up at 2.03 cus my forks are missing it???????
😮😮😮😮
